HAYWARD, Calif.
-- In 2008, two veterans named themselves “Homeless Angels.” While living on the street, Jose and Joe worked to help their peers attain stability. In 2010, Jose lost his life helping a woman to achieve safety. In his memory and in reflection of our commitment to continue the work to eliminate obstacles to self-sufficiency, the Homeless Angels project was launched.

On May 3, 2013, Homeless Angels presents PLAY, a free art exhibit by Cathy Trotter, Nelson Lienhard and Jordan’s Mom. PLAY consists of re-purposed, renewed or refreshed children’s toys and games and will remind you of your own playful days.

Please consider supporting the Homeless Angels by purchasing items from their on-site Art and Gifts store; prices vary from $5 to $25. Donations will not be accepted.

Opening hours are from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and include a reception with the artists from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. during which light refreshments will be served.

For more information about PLAY, contact Melanye Levno, South Hayward Parish, at (510) 566-2695.
